Re: New tent at Coachella 2013?

2009 was my first Coachella and the Sahara blew my mind. A lot of fun stuff that year. 2010 was good but I haven't really seen anything exciting since. I'm really hoping GV can revive the tent. There's plenty of talent out there to make it great again

“It’s roughly a discotheque with a wooden floor and air conditioning that’s meant to cater to the lost of art of DJing and mixing records,” he says, adding that it’s in contrast to the big lights and bombastic sounds of the Sahara Tent. “There’s a place for that, but part of what we’re responding to as Metropolis relaunches is that there are adults and other generations who want to listen to this music presented in a thoughtful way.” http://blogs.laweekly.com/westcoasts...ey_returns.php

There's still so many more acts on the lineup in total this year, though, but the confirmation that this is a stage specifically for DJs seems to suggest that there's only a limited number of acts that will play there. Unless, of course, it is somewhat like the Heinekin Dome and names are added later.

It's possible. There are surely acts that will play in the Gobi for like ~ 30-35 minutes. And by extended sets I really mean like 1.5 - 2 hours for some of these DJs -- which is more than they would get playing in the Sahara in the afternoon, ya know?
